Most of them self harm because the removal the pain feels good - and it takes with it some emotional pain.
Though there probably are some masochists that truly enjoy the pain, but that's a different condition than the more common I-hate-myself-so-I-hurt-myself.
Not quite. The pain causes an endorphin release. It's also addictive (not technically by the DSM sense, but those who do will often call it as such) and has been compared to heroin.
I personally know of a hospital that had no computers for a week due to ransomware. People died. The company running the hospital was unprepared before the event, inept during it, and unchanged after it.
> IT professionals around the world should gird their loins for the inevitable friends and family support calls when Windows 11 24H2 makes a surprise appearance, and uncle Fester is surprised that things have suddenly started working a little differently.
I hate this take, UIs changing without user consent or control is just plain WRONG.
I've recently wasted many hours on a machine owned by a family member that crashed randomly with Win10.
It has a Gen2 i5, 16GBs of RAM, and an SSD. A fine machine for a home user, but Win11 won't install and in the end I just reverted to its original Win7.
It would be fine with any Linux. I tested Ubuntu Mate and it ran fine.
It was the last straw. I will never again meddle with Windows.
I wish there was a linux distro for windows mimicry that autowines every exes it can and runs the rest on a internal win7vm. i would pay money for that.
Yeah but if we don't change the UI every few months that MBA who just got hired and is looking for a promotion won't get claps on the back for a good job.
Let's not make "MBA" a generic slur/boogeyman. No MBA ever asked me for a full app redesign. UX designers do all the time, though. No MBA ever requested that we force users to update their software, but the security engineers at my previous companies would have loved that. Yes, business-oriented teams often make our software shitty, but so do technical teams, product leads, and designers.
The whole point of this is to generate diverse training data with accurate labels for model training. If you actually want to create nice scenes, use normal blender and some plugins and free online assets.
Blender is pretty approachable. How far are we lowering ourselves to be considered average joe? If it's "a few hours of poking" then sure. But you can create some decent procedural nature stuff with a few free plugins and a weekend or two of learning the basics of the program.
Can we not let creative things take a bit of minimal effort? When we already have tools that make it nearly trivial as is.
true, but that's very easy to do as long as the LLM can create the code, which shouldn't be difficult... idk blender's code lang used (i know godot is very python-like), but most code is nowadays some form of cpp (or it is cpp), so with a few-shot it might be even possible to get a cpp trained llm gen the correct code
We're recreating a demon haunted world that will foster cargo cults. The algorithms we interact with are inscrutible, so we make up rules of thumb and assign agency where there is none. E.g. In 5 years there won't be a way to truly know how to minimize your personally-customized prices at the grocery store, but there will be tons of cargo cult opinions (put your phone in airplane mode, walk through iles 3 times before you pick up an item, pick up a generic version before the name brand, ...).
Algorithms and AI are the new divine agents to appease with ritual.
I wonder how long the transit from 45N to 45S latitudes will be. My gut says the pole will move fastest at the equator (a la the zero crossing of a sine wave).
In the not too distant future humanity will see the magnetic pole at the equator. Wow.
